Our objective is to assess the precision of the diagnosis of PVD by SS-OCT.Methods: This prospective observational study examines ninety-five eyes of forty-nine patients with biomicroscopy, B-scan ultrasound, and SS-OCT for the presence or absence of a complete PVD. All SS-OCT images were reviewed by two retina specialists (RWSC, ZM). All three diagnostic methods were evaluated for agreement by Cohen’s kappa statistic.Results: The inter-rater reliability between retina specialists reading the SS-OCT images was 97.9% (κ = 0.957). Agreement on PVD status between SS-OCT and biomicroscopy was 85.3% (κ = 0.711). Agreement between SS-OCT and B-scan ultrasound was 83.2% (κ = 0.667). Agreement between B-scan ultrasound and biomicroscopy was 87.4% (κ = 0.743).Conclusion: For the diagnosis of complete PVD, SS-OCT allows for high accuracy and agreement between graders.Keywords: optical coherence tomography, swept source, posterior vitreous detachment
